We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.
Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this. 

Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories

Bluiríní Béaloidis is the podcast from The National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin, and is a platform to explore Irish and wider European folk tradition across an array of subject areas and topics. Host Jonny Dillon hopes this tour through the folklore furrow will appeal to those who wish to learn about the richness and depth of their traditional cultural inheritance; that a knowledge and understanding of our past might inform our present and guide our future.

Woody is the original sonic funkateer whose life is completely focused on music and his very own definition of FUNK. He doesn't need more than two turntables, a mixer and an audience to know he’s alive.

For him DJing and making music is not just a job, it's his life purpose. Rewind back to the mid-80's when Woody started off in Munich's graffiti and breakdance scene. Already a superb breakdancer, he soon became an even better DJ.Woody played his first gigs in Munich`s famous "Babalu Club". It didn't take long for him to get noticed outside of his hometown. In 1992, Woody took the chance to become Resident DJ at one of Berlin’s best and most influential clubs, Planet, which later became the world-famous E-Werk—Berlin's '90s equivalent to Berghain.

Since then Woody has been a perennial force in Berlin's house and techno scene. He has seen techno become the dominating youth culture in the late 90s and how it all went back underground during the early 2000s, before things started to heat up again for another, this time global, wave of success.

In that sense, his career path has been atypical of his contemporaries; neither did he go out of his way to become a festival-jet-setting A-list DJ, nor did he let the show stop at any point. Instead, he kept his head down through all these seismic shifts, continued to DJ, and took the time needed to eventually co-found one of the best party series Berlin has seen in the last decade: Heideglühen.

Powered by a hype-averse and no-bullshit true to its roots spirit, Heideglühen has developed into a unique, intimate and internationally acclaimed haven for house music lovers. Equipped with the experiences of a long career and Heideglühen in full force, Woody is ready to share his vision of the perfect party and to bring the funky Heide vibe to dance floors across the globe.
